| 0:04.0 | My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate, I already hate it. I hate it. |
| 0:09.2 | All right. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Chase Thomas podcast from still the A for mention Chase Thomas coming to you live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ. |
| 0:18.1 | Joining me from Go Balls 247 in the Swain event. It's Ben McKee, Ben McKee. Good morning, sir. How are you doing? Good morning. I'm doing great. Appreciate you having me on once again. Hope you're doing well. I'm doing pretty well, man. A little bit of, like, nice little rain this morning. Like, I'm doing all my prep and doing all my work this morning. I'm like, man, this is kind of like some good morning nap potential here. This is dangerous because it was a, it felt like a Saturday morning here, a nice little rainy Saturday morning on my end. I did. I just wrapped up with Swain about 45 minutes ago and that's when the rain started coming down. It's like, man, a nap sounds great right now. But I got to speak to my guy, Chase, and then Tony Vitello is keeping me plenty busy these days. Oh, I think you're going to say then Tony. I'm like, yeah, that's quite a combo. Many are saying, if you could have any kind of Tennessee combo on a Thursday morning, you want to go from Chase to Tony. I agree. Chase Thomas and Tony Vitello, who more would you want to talk to consecutively? Oh, I don't know. Name a better duo. Name a better duo. Shump is like driving off the road as he hears us. Shump's not listening to anything that I'm on. Let's get that straight. Oh, they'll listen to you, but he won't listen to me. |
| 1:28.9 | Oh, there you go. I don't know. We'll have to, we'll pull. Shut my, you never know. He's always lurking in the weeds. You don't know. They don't know often or not. Oh, that's true. He really, it doesn't seem like he works as much these days. It just feels like he talks a lot about the course and golf and |
| 1:44.4 | titans and literally anything other than the important stuff, you know? |
| 1:49.3 | He puts a good show on social media to make it seem like he's working. |
| 1:53.8 | Yeah. When in reality, he has scheduled tweets while he is golfing to make it look like he is |
| 1:59.3 | working. The only work that he does is scheduling tweets to make it look like he is working. The only work that he does is scheduling |
| 2:01.5 | tweets to make it look like he's working. And I tell people all the time. I'm like he, |
| 2:06.7 | Ben McKee's the one who's actually grinding. He's never scheduled a tweet. He's the one out here |
| 2:11.0 | constantly, just making sure that he gets his information out, articles, podcasts, swing event, |
| 2:17.1 | all kinds of stuff. |
| 2:18.0 | Like, you're, there's no question about the level of genuine work you're putting in with Shump. |
| 2:24.4 | It's just a little bit more questionable. |
| 2:26.1 | Your check is in the mail. |
| 2:27.3 | That's all I know. |
| 2:28.5 | There you go. |
| 2:29.6 | Bit McKee, we have something to talk about. |
| 2:32.2 | I have to pick your brain here before we even dive into the questions I want to throw |

| 2:36.8 | I was listening to Swainment earlier this week. |
